Reddit reviews Playstation Nwtwork Card

1: I've heard some people use prepaid psn cards from amazon (like this) to buy stuff from other regional stores.
2: I believe the PSN downloads are tied strictly to you account, no matter where it was bought. So I'm guessing you would be able to install it on 5 different PS3's.

This is why you don't give them a credit card. Go to Amazon buy a prepaid like this and use that. And use a good password.

Couldn't you use these?

Alright guys. Sony fucked up. Not everybody uses their PC's for gaming, some of us use our PC's to create, make something meaningful to ourselves and other's, ie. not wear down our motherboards by constantly overclocking our systems through these resource hogs that produce nothing but a brief, if fleeting, good time. You must be proud. You did absolutely nothing to deserve it!

Go ahead and downvote this comment, but before you do, think for a minute about why you're doing it. See, I was debating whether or not even bringing this up was a waste of time, but if it gets any number of you to think for one moment how petty you're being, taking the time of day to hate on a corporation that you're obviously avoiding, then this is worth the hit in downvotes. Because ironically, your outrage is precisely as meaningless as these stupid votes. If anything, it will be a tangible indicator of the senselessness of your rage. A metaphor, if you will.

Get this, guys. I checked my bank account to see if any money was missing (because, in case you might have guessed, I'm a proud owner and user of a PS3), and not only was it all there, but, I shit you not, I have no reason to make this up, I found a $5 charge on the 18th to the Playstation Store that I'd forgot about. Yes, it was my purchase, and the amount I put in should tell you that it was a small purchase, for an add-on to a game. The reason I bring this up is, Sony is saying that between the 17th and the 19th is when they were stealing the credit card information. So here, I have actual tangible proof (not this speculation over previous passwords) that my account is safe. But I'll bet you don't feel any better now, do you? Because this has just taken away your reason to flame on Sony.

Let's look at a few other points that you guys have overlooked because of your unearned indignation:

• One of those pre-paid check cards you buy at CVS or the grocery store works on PSN too. In fact, Sony has its own pre-paid cards. Can't steal bank account information when the card isn't tied to the bank account, now can ya?
  
  
• Playstation 3 has the exclusive titles market cornered. Gran Turismo 5, SOCOM, InFamous. C'mon, admit that you're just a little bit pissed right now because you wish you could play these games. Also, you'd think that this would be an enormous deal on the SOCOM 4 forums, right? I mean, you do realize that SOCOM 4 came out the same day as Portal 2, don't you? No?! Right, because most of you don't known Playstations, because you keep having to justify using the enormously vast capabilities of today's personal computers to bleep bip blop on computer games, and spend that much more of your paycheck upgrading every few months, right? Gotta have that extra super cool graphics card, don't ya, or the game won't work right. Not my problem, the system's set to play every game made for it. But that's beside the point. The point was that you'd think that on the SOCOM forums everybody would be shitting themselves the way you guys are, right? Right!?? Nope, look for yourselves. Still talkin' about SOCOM, and the network being offline. As of this post, I see one thread on credit card theft. And again, these people own and login from their Playstations!! Meaning, they have a much greater investment in this subject than you do!
  
  Man, this has already taken up more time than I wanted. Look, I don't like that Sony fucked up any more than you guys. But I think the animosity has a little bit more to do with bitterness that existed before it happened, it's pathetic, and really, someone had to say something about it.
  
  TL;DR Well I guess you should probably learn, then.
